R Ashwin Questions Gautam Gambhir's Latest Move; Highlights Potential Risk Of Injuries
@Source: timesnownews.com
The fabled Yo-Yo Test is now not the only means of testing a player's fitness in the Indian cricket. Several reports have indicated that the new Indian team management under Gautam Gambhir have introduced a new test named the Bronco Test. Commonly used in rugby and football, this test evaluates a player’s aerobic endurance and recovery capacity. It requires completing five shuttle runs of 20 m, 40 m, and 60 m each, performed consecutively without rest. In total, the five sets cover 1,200 m, with the completion time recorded with faster times indicating higher fitness levels. Former India spinner R Ashwin has now raised questions regarding this Test. In a video on his YouTube channel, R Ashwin revealed that when there is a change in a training regime, the players go through a lot of difficulty. In fact, this can also lead to a lot of injuries. “I have always asked the trainers. When the trainers change, the testing mechanism changes. The trainer changes, the training schemes change. When this happens, players go through a lot of difficulty," Ashwin said. “As a player, if you keep changing training schemes, it is virtually very difficult for the players. In many cases, it could also lead to injuries. I am not denying that, it has led to injuries. From 2017 to 2019, I was searching for my training scheme. I have endured this. Soham Desai knows all about this," the legendary spinner added. ALSO READ: What Is Bronco Test? 'Want To Raise Some Questions' R Ashwin also said that all he is wants is some continuity. Whenever a new trainer comes in, Ashwin wants him to work with the outgoing trainer for six months to a year to give the handover. “I just want to raise some questions. As a player, the problem is one of continuity. I would really like some continuity. It is important to give that. I would just want that whenever a new trainer comes in, he should work with the outgoing trainer for six months to one year to give the handover,"
